Daily Meme: The Immigration Merry-Go-Round

It's been about a year—329 days, to be precise—since the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration-reform bill, but it seems we're no closer to seeing it become law now than we were then. Care to take a ride on the immigration merry-go-round?

House Speaker John Boehner swears no one wants to see immigration reform get done more than he does, but Obamacare shows that we can't trust the president. Latino journalist Jorge Ramos, pointing out that immigration has nothing to do with Obamacare, tried to cut through the cant on Thursday: "Why are you blocking immigration reform?" he asked the speaker at a press conference. Boehner's response: "Me? Blocking?"

Former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour swears that Boehner is "trying very hard."

But Brian Beutler at The New Republic says it's never been more clear Republicans are killing immigration reform.
